Damn skippy. Look, you want to stop being that hapless no name team from S. Alaska? Become hated, punish people, make people pay attention to you. Worked for Oakland. Just win, jerks. Not to say be classless, but cleanly keep your foot on their throat.

Said it was good football in terms of executing the play, but it's unfortunate that it will come off looking so bad. He wanted the first down. He hopes that Gailey will understand what he's trying to say.

So many others have said it....how many times in the past did we play prevent defense and end up losing the game?

Not likely, but in the realm of possibility. I'd rather have them hate us for kicking everyone's butts than for being perceived as weak! Let's see if Michael Irvin can spin our recent DOMINATION wins into something that says we're "not for real."

Does he mean that it was scripted and that it was always going to happen, or does he mean that he called it, but didn't want Robinson to run as long as he did?

It was a scripted play in the game plan based on what they saw on film. The situation matched so they went with it. Pete didn't think about how it would come across, he was just trying to get the first down. After they ran it he realized how it looked and therefore he's taking the heat for not calling the play off.

Pretty damned classy of Pete taking the bullit for the team on this instance, that way, the players can feel good about executing the play to perfection.Pete knows all about how the fake punts / fieldgoals can work, for or against you.Some will probably be pissed because the Bills didn't think of doing it first.Screw the laying down on games, it sucks when you don't win, the Seahawks know all too well about letting your opponent back in the game.

Is this gleened from the post game presser? I won't catch that till later tonight.

Yes. Mike Rob also just told Jen Mueller it was planned for and they (the Bills) finally showed the look, so off the Hawks went. He also mentioned he liked that it's out there and now teams have to plan for it.
